Disclosed herein are methods and systems of evaluating test-retest precision using fractional rank precision or mean-average precision, comprising: a) collecting a test and a retest result of each subject, wherein the results are described in feature space(s) and collected from a vision test machine; b) selecting, a first test result of a first subject; c) calculating distances from the first test result to the retest result of each subject; d) assessing, a similarity between the first test result and the retest result of each subject by ranking the distances in a non-descending order; e) assessing a rank precision for the first subject based on a rank of a distance from the first test result to the retest result of the first subject; f) repeating b), c), d), and e) for each subject; and evaluating, the test-retest precision based on the rank precision for each of the plurality of subjects.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the test comprises a first vision test.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the retest result for the subject comprises a repeat of the first vision test after a therapy or treatment at a different time point.
4. The system of claim 2, wherein the first vision test comprises a vision acuity test, a contrast sensitivity function (CSF) test, or an optical coherence tomography (OCT) test.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more feature spaces are one-dimensional.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more feature spaces are multi-dimensional.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein a feature of the feature space comprises: a median area under log of contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) computed over the spatial frequency range of 1.5 to 6 cycles per degree (cpd), a median AULCSF computed over the spatial frequency range of 6 to 12 cpd, a median AULCSF computed over the spatial frequency range of 12 to 18 cpd, a median AULCSF computed over the spatial frequency range of 1. 5 to 18 cpd, a contrast sensitivity function (CSF) acuity, a parameter of CSF, a contrast sensitivity for at least one spatial frequency selected from 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cpd, a peak sensitivity of the CSF, or a spatial frequency at which a CSF reaches a pre-determined contrast threshold.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the rank comprises a real number ranging from 0 to N−1, wherein N represents a total number of subjects in the plurality of subjects.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the distance comprises: a Euclidean distance, a Manhattan distance, or a Mahalanobis distance.
11. The system of claim 1, wherein the rank precision comprises an inverse of the rank of the retest result of the subject.
13. The system of claim 1, wherein the rank comprises a real number ranging from 1 to N, wherein N represent a total number of subjects of the plurality of subjects.
14. The system of claim 1, wherein the vision test machine comprise: a computerized adaptive contrast sensitivity testing device, a quick contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) testing device, an optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine, an ultrasound machine, a visual field testing machine, a fundus photography system, a dark adaptation measurement machine, an auto-refractor machine, a frequency-doubling threshold machine, a tonometer machine, an aberrometer machine, an eye-tracking device, or an ocular alignment machine.
16. The method of claim 15, wherein the test comprises a first vision test, wherein the retest result for the subject comprises a repeat of the first vision test after a therapy or treatment at a different time point, and wherein the first vision test comprises a vision acuity test, a contrast sensitivity function (CSF) test, or an optical coherence tomography (OCT) test.
17. The method of claim 15, wherein a feature of the feature space comprises: a median area under log of contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) computed over the spatial frequency range of 1.5 to 6 cycles per degree (cpd), a median AULCSF computed over the spatial frequency range of 6 to 12 cpd, a median AULCSF computed over the spatial frequency range of 12 to 18 cpd, a median AULCSF computed over the spatial frequency range of 1.5 to 18 cpd, a contrast sensitivity function (CSF) acuity, a parameter of CSF, a contrast sensitivity for at least one spatial frequency selected from 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cpd, a peak sensitivity of the CSF, or a spatial frequency at which a CSF reaches a pre-determined contrast threshold.
